I'm with you @chappertron, and "The trouble with pigs is people" (@agmoore2). Pigs are so maligned. And eaten! They are intelligent creatures with the potential to be companions, but, but, yes, nature is red in tooth and claw, and we did not invent the carnivore. The food chain evolved before we did. I'm not a vegan, but I won't eat bacon or ham or any pork anymore, even if I can find it nitrate-free. (Oh does it ever smell enticing.) Thank you @agmoore for this post, so comprehensive, I cannot begin to address the many points you made with a "Right on!" but I'll choose this one as especially haunting:
a legacy of the Fukushima and Chernobyl catastrophes. As people moved out of the evacuated communities, boars moved in. They foraged on contaminated plants. Oh karma....
